Materials Data on UInPt2 by Materials Project
UPt2In crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U3+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Pt2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.86 Å) and two longer (2.89 Å) U–Pt bond lengths. Pt2- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U3+, one Pt2-, and four equivalent In1+ atoms. The Pt–Pt bond length is 2.68 Å. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.08 Å. In1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt2- atoms.
